Hello all, Does anybody know of a solution for this problem: I have just acquired a new Zire 31 Palm Pilot to replace my old Palm VII, which was a serial interface. I figured out how to sync the Zire to jpilot over USB after compiling the kernel (5.3 p9) with 'device ucom' and 'device uvisor'. The problem is that because /dev/ucom0 is created and only exists when I hit the HotSync button on the Palm, putting the following lines into /etc/devfs.conf doesn't help at all: perm ucom0 0666 link ucom0 pilot link ucom0 jpilot Before I hit the Sync button in the Jpilot application, I first have to type at the console: # sudo /etc/rc.d/devfs restart It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to simplify things a little if possible. Does anybody know of an alternate solution? Thanks, DW
